Twitter Reacts to Pokémon X and Y

Share.

We're excited to get our hands on the next generation of Pokémon games... but what does the Twitter-verse think?

By Audrey Drake

Unless you spent yesterday under a rock (or even crazier, unplugged from the Internet!) you've likely already heard about Pokémon X and Y. This announcement heralds the start of the first fully 3D generation of Pokémon games, and even though we were only treated to a short trailer and a handful of screenshots with the news, we already know quite a bit about Pokémon X and Y.

In the wake of this Pikachu-fueled bombshell, I took to Twitter to get some reader reactions to this new direction for the beloved monster-catching franchise. The response was overwhelming - and I'd like to extend a special thanks to everyone who participated. Below you'll find a selection of the best responses. Enjoy, and be sure to join in on the conversation by leaving your own thoughts and reactions in the comments!

Ready... set... Twitter!

Those are just a few of the responses we got from our awesome, Twitter-friendly readers. But what did you think? Let us know your thoughts on the new games, the starters, the trailer and so on in the comments below!
